played friends & family. "Wall of Silence"Drama based on
the true story of the brutal gang murder of a teenager on a south London housing estate.
On 6 August 1997, 17-year-old Jamie Robe was beaten to death by a gang of youths who set
about him with snooker cues and baseball bats at the notorious Osprey Estate in
Rotherhithe. Despite the attack happening in public, officers on the case faced a wall of
silence based on a fear of the consequences.
The detective in charge of the case, together with Jamie`s father and local MP Simon
Hughes, fought a long battle to bring the killers to justice, and witnesses eventually
agreed to give evidence under police protection.
Three men were convicted of the murder and sentenced to 12 years in prison in October
1999, but the price of victory was high as witnesses had to begin their lives with new
identities, a contract was taken out on
Simon Hughes` life and Jamie`s family finally had to confront their grief.
